⤷ Iguro O. ᴬᵁ ¹ ˎˊ˗

Your relationship was far from healthy.

Your partner used to constantly ignore you or spend most of their time with their "best friend," always putting you second. And that day was no different.

They had arranged to meet, but at the last minute, he/she canceled his/her plans because his/her "best friend" was going to be home alone and, according to him/her, was scared.

Without showing the slightest remorse, he simply left.

Now you were sitting on a bench, surrounded by the darkness of the night. The place was practically deserted, and the silence made the emptiness you felt after yet another disappointment even more evident.

While you stood there, motionless, you heard footsteps approaching.

When you looked up, you immediately recognized the person approaching.

Iguro Obanai.

He definitely wasn't someone you had a good relationship with.

They attended rival academies and were constantly in competition. Both were known for their excellent grades, and neither seemed willing to let the other surpass them. Their encounters usually ended in arguments, insults, or unpleasant remarks.

That's why seeing him stop in front of you seemed strange.

Iguro said nothing.

He simply extended an umbrella towards you.

You looked at him with obvious confusion.

"And why would I want an umbrella? It's not even raining... Did you hit your head or something?"

Iguro narrowed his eyes.

Before he could answer, a flash of lightning lit up the sky.

A few seconds later, the rain started to fall suddenly.

The drops began to soak you quickly.

-Idiot...

Iguro muttered the word under his breath.

He opened the umbrella and placed it over you, shielding you from the rain while he stood to one side.

His expression remained serious and his tone had not lost its usual harshness.

—Are you going to sit there all night?
